Equity and Clean Energy

Equity and clean energy are energy efficiency missions that include all people and give lower-income households and communities of color energy knowledge and resources. This session begins with a welcome from the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin, leading to expert panelists from across the Midwest who share facts, figures, and ideas on equity and clean energy and their strategies to achieve a zero-carbon world. 

Learn how states and programs in the Midwest and across the country ensure equitable access to clean energy technologies and programs. This webinar explores what is working and how to adopt these principles and strategies in Wisconsin.
